ETH_HDR_LEN in arp_recv_cb

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A suggestion is to change the instances of ETH_HDR_LEN in arp_recv_cb
to req->inter->if_dloff.

The offset for standard ethernet packets (DL_EN10MB link type) is 14
but when you set monitoring interface to "any" the offset becomes 16 as
the link type turns to DLT_LINUX_SLL. Thus
the decoding does not succeed as the line
arp = (struct arp_hdr *) (pkt+ETH_HDR_LEN); 
will yield to incorrect offset for arp header.

If I got it, we can change the instances in arp_send function at 
arp_pack_hdr_ethip too, for supporting the modularity and avoid from
bad assigns like you said.

Well, I changed something according to your suggestion and I looked to arp_send
function again. The patch is only for arp_recv_cb.
